Everything we need to make computers more personal already exists
and has existed for a long time.
The main change is the price point. You no longer need to be as rich
as Tony Stark in order to have this tech in your hands.

Over the coming few years, Moore's law will continue to apply and
technology will become more and more personal.

Today on the sunny Gold Coast of Australia, our very own Dr. Neil Roodyn is presenting at Ignite Australia on how to build more
personal software for more personal computers. In his talk he will be showing
developers how they can build software that has more context awareness and more
natural interfaces using common hardware available today.

"Multi-touch technologies have a long history.
To put it in perspective, the original work
Undertaken by my team was done in 1984, the
same year that the first Macintosh computer
was released, and we were not the first."

-Bill Buxton

Consider how a modern computer (yes, this includes your phone) can
receive inputs; vision (camera), touch, gestures, ink (stylus), speech,
identity (fingerprint scanner, face recognition, etc.)
These inputs can be used by software to change the way people
interact with computers, making the interaction more personal and more natural.

This leads to output from new computers that is more natural as
well, computers that speak to us, present emotional content that is tailored to
our needs and output that is tangible, touchable, interactive, and even present
in our spaces. Technologies such as HoloLens are providing a glimpse into an
exciting future on new modes of interactions.

More emotional content fed to us by our devices will mean a
limitless number of exciting possibilities. nsquared's iBook, The Digital Table, presents our vision
for how we see technology, and simultaneously, our relationships, changing.
Technology tailored to us, the future is looking good.
